Math professor has GPT extract a Zoom link and password from a garbled URL

Alex Kontorovich shares a handy everyday LLM use: after copying a long illegible Zoom personal link into Google Calendar (with Outlook down), he gave it to GPT, which turned it back into a working Zoom link. When Zoom demanded a password, GPT found it embedded inside the long random URL. Both steps worked, a neat demo of models parsing messy URL strings.
